AI Tools for Real Estate

Victor Menasce
About this episode

We are doing a mini-series on AI tools in real estate. Some of these tools are the same ones we use in our development company Y. Street Capital. We use these tools in-house and on projects belonging to our consulting clients. If you want to learn more about how our consulting division could help you with your projects, send an email to victor@victorjm.com.

-----------------

On yesterday’s show we spoke about land.id. This is a tool that has a ton of capability for evaluating land. On today’s show we’re going to start with another tool called paxiv.ai. This tool started with mapping the state of Utah first and since is mapping out the entire United States. It’s now boasting over 155M properties in its database. 

This tool has an AI language model built into it. You can perform searches for example you can ask it to find all of the properties in a particular city that is zoned industrial with a minimum size of 10 acres. It will then give you a list of properties. You can then refine your search to say increase the minimum building height to 40 feet tall. 

Once you find the property you are interested in, you can then turn on a whole bunch of layers including traffic counts on roads, soil types, building inventories, housing inventory, presence of fibre optics, water, mineral rights, building permits.; all kinds of different layers. 

Predictiv AI has been actively pursuing strategic acquisitions to expand its capabilities. Notably, they've been involved in discussions to acquire Shift Technologies Canada Inc. (an AI-driven fleet management platform) and HouseStack Holdings Inc. (which includes real estate intelligence platforms). 

HouseFax Appraiser Pro: Designed for appraisers to streamline the appraisal process with automated report generation and data analysis. (Currently in development).

HouseStack AI Brokerage: An AI-driven brokerage combining technology with "expert guidance" for clients buying, selling, and evaluating real estate transactions.

Propsize AI: A proprietary solution using advanced AI to provide precise property measurements and features for residential properties nationwide.

LiLA AI Assistant: A generative AI assistant providing instant answers on real estate, leveraging a massive 11+ million nationwide property dataset. (Currently in beta development).

Homeselling AI is primarily a tool for agents, enabling them to work more efficiently, provide data-backed insights to their clients, and focus on relationship-building and complex negotiations.
